Improved suture pullout through genipin-coated sutures in human biceps tendons with spatially confined changes in cell viability

The repair strength of a tendon-suture construct can be augmented by loading the suture with genipin. At this mechanically relevant dosage, crosslinking-induced cell death is confined to a radius of
